Hi Everyone,
(I promise if you read most/all of this very-wordy & repetitive ‘petition’, you will learn something, especially if you rent/lease or plan to purchase a home sometime in the future.)
It is late November 2013, and I hope everyone who is reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ still realize that most of the United States is still feeling the effects of the Economic Recession. In this Economic Recession, probably many people are ‘renting/leasing’ a (residential/apartment) property versus ‘buying/purchasing’ a home. In either case, probably MANY of the people reading this ‘petition’ are renting/leasing at this time, especially with banks still being hesitant about issuing mortgage loans so ‘freely.’ With 300 Million people in the United States, I ask/plead that maybe? One Million people sign this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ before the middle of December 2013,…which is less than three weeks away. Even if 100,000 electronic signatures make, I will still be very thankful for the support.
If there is a Web Master who can optimize this www.Change.Org ‘petition’, or, someone who can PIONEER other websites to spread this cause, I would greatly appreciate it!!
If anyone has rented a house or an apartment and was NOT refunded his/her security deposit because of an unethical landlord or the real estate agent, PLEASE help me!!! Or, if your friend or relative has experienced something similar, PLEASE help me!!!
I believe this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ will be ‘one way’ for everyone reading this to ‘Speak Up’ against the unethical people (landlords or real estate agents) who continue in their ways. Yes, if You, your Son, your Daughter, your Brother, your Sister, your Cousin, or your Friend was a victim, then please help me! If you are an electrician and you are tired of local ‘handymen’ installing ceiling fans without an electrical license, please help me! If you have gone to court and have been very frustrated because the other party ‘made’ you file a lawsuit for something that could have been settled amicably, again please help me!
I have filed a lawsuit in District Court against Fonville Morisey for the unethical actions of its employee real estate agents/brokers, and the Defense (corporate Fonville Morisey, the unethical real estate brokers, and the landlord) have submitted a date for a ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing. I need your help so that I can continue on with a possible Jury Trial. I have already spent over $3,000.00 in order to fight for my $1,195.00 security deposit.
After the unethical real estate brokers did not want to settle this amicably, I decided to proceed on principle.
Here is a digital copy of my District Court lawsuit…
I have already spent three years of my life in the ‘Pursuit for Justice,’… just think about the countless hours I had spent typing. (I thank God that I can type around 100-words-plus a minute without having to look at the keyboard.) But, I cannot proceed if the Defense wins.
I NEED YOUR HELP in order that I can keep going in my ‘Pursuit for Justice.’ Please spread the news about this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and whatever other social media outlets that currently exists.
The date of the ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing is currently scheduled for Friday, December 20, 2013; and Judge Christian Lorie is currently scheduled to render her verdict on the ‘Motion to Dismiss.’ So, please help spread the news about this ‘petition’ as Fast As Possible! I do not have a lot of time; please help ASAP. I am hoping that the real estate agents/brokers of America think TWICE/TRICE before trying to cheat someone else of his/her security deposit..if www.Change.Org does what it was intended to do.
I want to hold Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty responsible for the [unethical] actions of its employees.
Has anyone ever heard of someone renting a house, a trailer, or an apartment, and then the real estate agent/broker and/or the landlord NOT refunding the security deposit by providing a ‘Bogus Invoice’ from individuals who are NOT legally licensed as a business?
What if you rented a trailer or a house, and you left the property expecting to get your security deposit, but the landlord or his/her real estate agent/broker provided a HANDWRITTEN generic invoice from someone (probably a cousin, like Mr. Bubba) citing repairs performed which could be considered ‘usual wear and tear’ or the responsibility of the landlord.
And, your ‘only legal recourse’ would be to file a lawsuit in Small Claims Court against the landlord? Would you feel comfortable that you rented/leased a property, and you were not refunded the security deposit by the landlord or his/her agent where by he/she provided a Fraudulent Invoice (by a ‘company’ that does NOT exists!). This happened to me, and I have heard a few people who stated that they did not get their security deposit but they ‘let it go’ because they had a full-time job and they did not want to go through the trouble of Small Claims Court. Well, I did. And, again, I NEED YOUR HELP!...so, that I can create CHANGE!
How many individuals in America would think about going to District Court to file a lawsuit? Most attorneys/lawyers want about $4,000.00/$5,000.00 Retainer for them to represent legal counsel in a higher court, such as District Court. How many individuals in America reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ is WILLING to spend the $4,000.00/$5,000.00 Retainer in order to obtain legal counsel? I did.
I already spent around $3,000.00 towards this District Court lawsuit, when the security deposit was ONLY $1,195.00! I may have to spend Much More (possibly as high as $50,000.00) in order to reach a Jury Trial. Help me, so that I can obtain a Jury Trial; I will spend the $50,000.00 if I have to…that is how determined I am to get Justice. But, again, I NEED YOUR HELP!
If you do NOTHING by NOT signing my www.Change.Org ‘petition’, and later you or a friend/relative is cheated by unethical real estate agents/brokers who ‘forces’ Small Claims Court proceeding (in order to obtain the security deposit), then you can look back and there is no one to blame because I, Peter Lim, have ‘fought back’ and I did not have your help.
Please help me so that I may be able to create change via my www.Change.Org ‘petition.’
How many individuals in America reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ is willing to spend the money that is required to obtain JUSTICE? If ‘you’ want JUSTICE, please help me! I am planning to take this District Court lawsuit until the very end. I want a Jury Trial for the maximum punitive damages allowed for the state of North Carolina.
How many of the www.Change.Org readers would be VERY ANGRY that you had cleaned the bathroom, the kitchen, the stove, and all the trash/debris was removed from the interior of the house AND you expected your security deposit, but instead was given a Bogus ‘Fraudulent Invoice’ written by a person who is NOT a licensed business?
This proves Walliser Repairs does NOT exist, and of there being no licensure...

This www.Change.Org ‘petition’ may be a way for you to Speak Up against these unethical actions. Please Help Me! by (1) signing this electronic ‘petition’,
(2) spreading the word about this ‘petition’…PIONEER other websites (PLEASE), and by
(3) supporting me (NOT financially, but) with a 46-cent stamped Letter OR Postcard…mailed directly to the Judge (using the address of the NC courthouse)…address is near the end of this ‘petition’, and
(4) uniting together by ‘fighting back’ with a Long-Term Boycott of Fonville Morisey Realty and its parent company Long & Foster Realty.
If you only do the first three above items, I am fine. Item four will wake up ‘big business’ that Social Media can elicit CHANGE where it hurts (the pockets).
My Story….
(you can read a shorter version of my story at:
(I will try to not mention the real estate agents/brokers since I do not want to have any remarks of ‘Slander’.)
Well, I had leased a house from September 2007 to September 2010 through a local real estate company A (I am not citing company A because they did nothing wrong). Around June/July 2010, I provided my 60-Day notice via email that I was not going to renew my lease with the landlord.
(I have chosen to leave out the names of the real estate agents/brokers for now…but, you will know of them when you review the evidence that I have included.)
The real estate broker from real estate company B, which in this case was/is Fonville Morisey, accepted my 60-Day notice. And, around August 25, 2010, I had received a nasty ‘bully’ email stating that I had ‘denied access’ to the house for a home showing. I responded accordingly back to the ‘bully’ real estate agent/broker that I will not jump and that he will not like to see me ‘angry.’ I stated that I have a son (then three years old) and a daughter (then two years old), where Last Minute requests for a Home Showing was not reasonable nor accepted by me, to which I reiterated to the real estate agent/broker to not threaten my security deposit, and that he would not like to see me ‘ANGRY.’ Within five minutes I received a call, where very-heated words were exchanged via my cell phone. This was on August 25, 2010…over Three Years ago.
Please refer to my August 25, 2010 email where the real estate broker was a ‘bully’ and I responded accordingly…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rwxr7xu58yotpa/e.Bright%20BLUE%20packet...47%20pages.pdf
I moved out of the house by September 30, 2010; I even physically (in person) spoke to the Wife real estate agent/broker that I wanted a ‘Final Walk Through’. Obviously the Wife real estate agent completely ignored my request for the final walk through since I NEVER received the requested ‘Final Walk Through’. I was never cited for the place being dirty inside, other than the carpets being the way they were.
Sunday, November 7, 2010, I personally observed individuals moving items into the house that I previously had leased.
Soon thereafter, I contacted the landlord asking when I should be receiving my security deposit. The landlord responded that he was working on it.
By this time, I was getting agitated that I did my part of ‘paying the rent on time Each Month, cleaning the place before I left, and leaving by the end of my lease’…and yet, I did not get my security deposit.
December 1, 2010, I again contact the landlord asking when I should be receiving my security deposit, where I wrote the address to which the security deposit money should be mailed. Again, the landlord responded that he was working on it.
January 5, 2011, I again contact the landlord stating that it has definitely been more than 30 Days since my last written request for the return of the security deposit. The landlord responded that he was still working on it.
Link to my emails dated December 1, 2010 AND January 5, 2011…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rwxr7xu58yotpa/e.Bright%20BLUE%20packet...47%20pages.pdf
Around mid-January 2011, I contacted Pre-Paid Legal (which is now called Legal Shield). I informed the Pre-Paid Legal attorney that I was not refunded my security deposit and that I had not received an invoice of any kind. My Pre-Paid Legal attorney wrote the Fonville Morisey real estate broker that under North Carolina general statute ‘landlord-tenant’ responsibilities that the landlord has the responsibility of returning the security deposit within 30 Days, or within 60 Days if there are itemized damages.
Again…I left the premises on September 30, 2010, I ‘formally’ requested my security deposit via email on December 1, 2010, and I ‘formally’ demanded my security deposit via email January 5, 2011. So, I properly gave my 30-Day notice (an attorney stated that the 30-Day Notice STARTS when the request is made in writing, and does NOT necessarily begin when the tenant moves out…the folks reading this petition should make not of this!). But, the security deposit was not returned to me within 30 days nor was an Itemized List of damages provided to me within 60 days. In other words, I should have been refunded my security deposit because the landlord had failed to meet the 30-day/60-day NC general statute describing the responsibilities of the landlord. I should have received my security deposit by default of the landlord!
Instead, the Fonville Morisey real estate broker responded back to my Pre-Paid Legal attorney by stating that he did not have a ‘direct contract’ with me, that the security deposit money/monthly lease was being paid directly to the landlord, that I (Peter Lim) had not taken care of the property, that a general contractor had performed much repairs (and the general contract had digital pictures to prove the damages), and that he (the real estate agent/broker had NOTHING to do with my not receiving the security-deposit refund. My Pre-Paid Legal attorney contacted me, and he (the attorney) stated that I had to take the landlord to [Small Claims] Court. The unethical real estate broker ‘must’ have had similar instances where he denied someone his/her security deposit…please read the Very Confident letter where the real estate broker ‘states that he would gladly represent the landlords in Small Claims Court in Room 9C.’ (I am currently researching any/all possible lawsuits where ‘my’ unethical real estate agents/brokers were involved with the landlords of other properties.)
Please refer to 2011.01.21.pdf; 2011.01.26.pdf; 2011.02.09.pdf; and 2011.02.15.pdf
Around late January 2011, I performed some ‘research’ on the ‘general contractor’. I discovered that the ‘general contractor’ is ANOTHER Fonville Morisey real estate agent!! Talk about a Conflict of Interest. I told myself…”these **-heads, I got them.”
Again, Please refer to the included attachment c.Bright YELLOW packet.pdf
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j73x3filrii4m5h/c.Bright%20YELLOW%20packet...24%20pages.pdf
I started to contact a couple of local real estate attorneys, and I was told that the 30-day notice requesting the refund of the security deposit begins when there is a Written Request and NOT from when a person moves out. Also, I was told by the attorneys,… they wanted $1,200-$1,400 to represent me in Small Claims Court, or a $4,000.00 Retainer to represent me in a higher court.
I became More Angry that “these **-heads” had done this fraudulent act and may get away with it unless I did something!
I stated directly to the landlord and the Wife real estate agent/broker via email that ‘IF I did not get my security deposit that I will file a lawsuit.’ Nothing happened. They did not heed my warning…and, I did in fact file the lawsuit…which is linked within this ‘petition.’
Around May 2011, I filed a BBB complaint against corporate Fonville Morisey for the unethical actions of its real estate brokers. I mentioned that I will settle with $5,000.00 if Fonville Morisey wanted to be EXCLUDED from any [future] lawsuits. Two executives from corporate Fonville Morisey responded to my Better Business Bureau complaint, stating that what the real estate agents/brokers did…that the [unethical] agents/brokers had performed under the property management company, K.E.G. of Raleigh, Inc.
Again, website for my June 7, 2011 BBB complaint…
Around May/June 2011 was the FIRST TIME I was made aware that the unethical real estate agents/brokers had ‘another real estate company’. Still, I responded back to corporate Fonville Morisey that these real estate agents/brokers performed their unethical actions under the Fonville Morisey name; I complained to BBB that Fonville Morisey was trying to claim that they were not responsible for the ‘unfair and deceptive trade practice’ of its employees.
I told BBB that the emails (at the bottom of the emails) had ‘Fonville Morisey’ when the real estate broker had corresponded with me, that the real estate broker included a Fonville Morisey business card when the real estate broker had responded to my Pre-Paid Legal, and that I did NOT know about the existence of K.E.G. until corporate Fonville Morisey mentioned the property management company. Also, the 1037 Whetstone Court property was ‘listed’ under Fonville Morisey around October 1, 2010.
K.E.G. of Raleigh, Inc…
https://www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporations/Corp.aspx?PitemId=8116681
Still, I responded to corporate Fonville Morisey that I was holding ‘corporate ‘Fonville Morisey’ responsible since the contact information had the ‘Fonville Morisey’ name. I ONLY knew of the real estate brokers’ listing under ‘Fonville Morisey’ from June/July 2010 to May/June 2011; so, for over Six Months, I truly/earnestly believed that the real estate agents/brokers worked for Fonville Morisey. And, corporate Fonville Morisey ignored me…I stated that I will file a lawsuit, but there was No Response. And, we are here.
Again, you can view my June 7, 2011-dated BBB complaint against Fonville Morisey…
Please notice that I ‘asked for PROOF of damages’ in the third sentence of my June 7, 2011 BBB complaint.
I mentioned, “No evidence was provided to me other than a Job Invoice listing cost of materials and the cost of labor”, and I mentioned Small Claims Court because there was the slight possible chance PROOF might be provided (where I would lose some of the ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practice’ description).
Please notice the last couple of sentences…where I mentioned about PROOF (of damages, of repairs, and of payment)!
Corporate Fonville Morisey responded that they were not responsible for the [unethical] actions of the Fonville Morisey real estate agent/brokers because the brokers had/have their own ‘property management company.’
Again,…Again… this was the FIRST TIME I became aware of the ‘property management company’ K.E.G. owned by the unethical real estate brokers. From around June 2010 (when I had first received the initial email with ‘Fonville Morisey’ written at the end of the email) until May/June 2011 (when corporate Fonville Morisey responded with the name of the ‘property management company’), I ONLY knew/believed that these unethical real estate agent/brokers as employees of Fonville Morisey. Because I only knew of Fonville Morisey, it did NOT matter that I was informed about the ‘property management company’ AFTER the ‘Fraudulent Invoice’ was provided to me. In other words, the unethical real estate agent/brokers provided the ‘Fraudulent Invoice’ when the brokers listed themselves as Fonville Morisey.
Please note that I STILL informed corporate Fonville Morisey that I was holding them accountable for the unethical actions of its employees. I had given corporate Fonville Morisey a chance to compensate me with $5,000.00 if they wanted to be excluded in any/all lawsuits…back in May/June 2011. Fonville Morisey did NOT take my offer. Now, the $5,000.00 offer no longer stands. And, I want a ‘Jury Trial for Punitive Damages’ to hold Fonville Morisey accountable. I can’t get there IF the Defense wins with their ‘Motion to Dismiss.’
Please note that the unethical real estate broker responded by TOTALLY ignoring my complaint/request for ‘PROOF.’ He TOTALLY ignored my request for PROOF. He responded that he was not responsible for the security deposit since he did not receive any monies from me. I filed the June 7, 2011 BBB complaint, basically stating that I ‘want PROOF or give me my money.’ And, it was under ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practice.’
After my BBB letter achieved ‘No [tangible] Results’, I decided that I needed to take some ‘time off’ from this headache. From June 2011 to August 2012, I left this headache on the ‘back burner’.
Around Labor Day, September 2012, I filed a NOTARIZED complaint to the NCREC (North Carolina Real Estate Commission) requesting (1) past/current complaints against the real estate agents/brokers, (2) copy of the Landlord-Agent contract, and (3) Proof of Damage, Proof of Repairs, & Proof of Payment. The North Carolina Real Estate Commission mailed me a CD disk with three listed complaints against the real estate brokers, a copy of the Landlord-Agent contract which was dated around November 12, 2010 (which is just under 45 days AFTER I had moved out), but there was NO PROOF (of Damages, of Repairs, or of Payment) included in the NCREC response.
I requested PROOF via my Pre-Paid Legal attorney, I requested PROOF via the Better Business Bureau, and I requested PROOF via the North Carolina Real Estate Commission…and, almost Two Years later (from September 2010 to September 2012), I still did NOT receive PROOF of Damages, Repairs, and/or Payment!
Please refer to my NCREC LETTER Evident Discovery.pdf
The NCREC had failed me! The NCREC did not do its job of ‘protecting the citizens of this state’ from ‘really bad’ real estate agents/brokers.
The NCREC has the POWER & the AUTHORITHY to request ANY document(s) from its real estate agents/brokers, but they (the NCREC) ignored my request for PROOF! I want to mention that Mr. Stephen L. Fussell of the NCREC ‘probably’ cannot go to the restroom without the permission of his boss. If anyone wishes to file a complaint with the NCREC, Mr. Stephen L. Fussell stated to me that he ‘could get any documents’ but Mr. Fussell failed to obtain the PROOF that I requested! If you read a previous NCREC complaint against the unethical real estate brokers, you will can view Mr. Stephen L. Fussell requesting a number of items in previous NCREC cases, and the unethical real estate brokers responded with a partial answer…totally ignoring some of the listed items requested by Mr. Stephen L. Fussell! What a wash; I initially had respect for Mr. Fussell, but not after I discovered he can’t deliver! Mr. Fussell claimed he had power over the real estate agents/brokers, but he can’t/won’t and didn’t deliver when I requested PROOF from the unethical real estate brokers!
Please refer to around pages 580’s...where the unethical real estate broker does not COMPLETELY respond to the REQUESTED WRITTEN INFORMATION from Mr. Stephen L. Fussell…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7hxbag804o134n/D10-0048.pdf
What is all that power & authority, when the WRITTEN request for [my] PROOF gets totally ignored? What a wash!
The REAL power & authority belongs to Mrs. Janet B. Thoren, who has the ONLY Power & Authority to allow a NCREC complaint case to even reach a NCREC hearing! I discovered that Mrs. Janet B. Thoren IS the AUTHORITY when I did my research…because I was NOT getting Justice! (After this District Court case, I will revisit my attempts at having Mrs. Janet B. Thoren resign for her not ‘protecting the citizens of this state’ from the unethical real estate agent/broker that caused me grief…where I will publish on the Internet what I have learned about Mrs. Thoren.)
Also, I discovered that the Husband/Wife real estate brokers had received a [another] NCREC complaint around December 2012 because another North Carolina citizen was NOT given his around $1,600.00 security deposit. His name is Mr. Martin A. Lewis.
I was Very Elated that I had taken ‘time off,… where the unethical real estate brokers had received ANOTHER complaint [from someone else]! I felt that this ‘new complaint’, where the unethical real estate brokers denied someone else his security deposit, DEMONSTRATED ‘repeated behavior.’ I repeat. Repeated Behavior!!
Mr. Martin A. Lewis did not get his security deposit from the unethical real estate brokers as well…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvaumgz7f04vq9l/D12-0367.pdf
To my understanding, the unethical Husband/Wife real estate brokers have been Reprimanded by the NCREC via case D12-0367. Still, I am not satisfied. I want Justice.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvaumgz7f04vq9l/D12-0367.pdf
Also, I discovered (from the past NCREC complaints) that the Husband/Wife real estate brokers were accused of ‘back-dating a contract’, as well as ‘Signature Fraud’ where their co-worker (the SAME Fonville Morisey real estate agent/broker) who produced the ‘Fraudulent Document’ and the NCREC did NOTHING but a ‘slap on the wrist’. The Husband/Wife real estate brokers were accused of ‘trying to steal a website’ from another past co-worker.
Link to TWO past complaints…demonstrating the SAME-THREE real estate agents/brokers…please refer to page 5 & 7 of D10-0048…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7hxbag804o134n/D10-0048.pdf
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k303kbju7expd9l/D10-0048%20%281%29.pdf
Demonstrating past unethical behavior of the real estate brokers, Please refer to the initial pages of D10-0224...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rmszduz1cig3y7g/D10-0224.pdf
These SAME-THREE Fonville Morisey real estate agents/brokers used to work for another local/national real estate company; the North Carolina Real Estate Commission just gave these real estate agents/brokers a ‘slap on the wrists’ when I PERSONALLY believe they (the real estate brokers) should have had their real estate licenses REVOKED, or at least SUSPENDED for period of no less than 30 days.
I guess that was/is the reason when I stated that “I will report you to the NCREC” elicited No amicable Response from the unethical real estate agents/brokers. The unethical real estate agents/brokers were ‘emboldened’ by the fact that their real estate broker COLLEAGUES failed to achieve much more than a ‘slap on the wrists’ via the NCREC. The Husband/Wife real estate brokers were penalized by the local Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors, however; I found this information by contacting the real estate broker who had filed the complaint against the unethical real estate brokers for ‘trying to steal a website’. Again, I feel that the real estate brokers should have had their licenses Revoked or Suspended.
If the NCREC did their job of ‘protecting the citizens of this state’ by rendering a Revocation or a Suspension, then PROBABLY the real estate brokers would have amicably made sure that I did not file a complaint with the NCREC. And, NONE of this would have happened! I would not have discovered the Power & Authority that Mrs. Janet B. Thoren possessed within the NCREC nor would I have personally ‘journeyed’ for more than THREE YEARS to obtain Justice. Still, Mr. John C. Morisey, Jr., the Founder of Fonville Morisey Realty, could have made sure that the SAME Three unethical real estate agents/brokers did NOT do anything ‘unethical’ under the name of Fonville Morisey. Instead, the President (& Founder) of Fonville Morisey Realty ALLOWED the unethical real estate brokers do as they wished.
I want to mention that I had given the President and Vice President of Fonville Morisey Realty the opportunity to settle this District Court lawsuit case 13 CVD 13240; but, AGAIN, I was obviously ignored. Had the President and Vice President of Fonville Morisey Realty taken me seriously, then my attorney would have been contacted AND this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ would not have been uploaded tonight.
And now, I have the opportunity to demonstrate what the Social Media can do to a ‘Big Business’, such as Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty. (I want to see what Social Media does to Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty; together we can make CHANGE.)
Founder, Mr. John C. Morisey, Jr. knew of their unethical behavior BEFORE hiring the agents/brokers…please refer to page 584…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7hxbag804o134n/D10-0048.pdf
LATE 2012, around November
Around Thanksgiving Day, November 2012, I mailed the documentation that I possessed to the North Carolina Attorney General office, to the North Carolina Electrical Board, to the Criminal Division of the federal Internal Revenue Service in California, to the Criminal Division of the state North Carolina Department of Revenue, and my follow-up NOTARIZED complaint to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.
Please refer to my 2012.11.26 My Notarized Complaint to the NCREC.pdf
Around December 2012, I received a letter from the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office noting that my complaint will be on file against Fonville Morisey; I was told that the NC Attorney General’s complaint will be PERMANENT…forever! You can contact the NC Attorney General’s Office to view ‘my’ complaint against Fonville Morisey Realty.
Around December 2012/January 2013, I received a letter from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission that they could/would NOT help me since I did not have a contract between ‘me and the [unethical] real estate brokers’. (For not providing me with Justice, I plan to expose the ‘Good Old Boys’ treatment by the NCREC…I will send out about 500 letters to the NC real estate agents/brokers who lost their licenses via Revocation/Suspension…exposing the corruption of allowing some brokers, such as the unethical real estate brokers who caused me this grieve, while revoking/suspending the real estate licenses of other brokers. I do not think that is fair; the NCREC was not doing its job of ‘protecting the citizens of this state.’)
Around February 2013, I received a letter from the North Carolina Electrical Board that they would be investigating my formal written complaint. Around April/May 2013, I received a letter from the North Carolina Electrical Board stating that a letter was given to the ‘general contractor’ to NOT perform Electrical Contracting. I mention this NC Electrical Board, since the state of North Carolina considers it ILLEGAL for anyone performing electrical repairs to a facility WITHOUT an electrical license.
IF you are a LICENSED NC Electrician, IF you receive an ‘Electrical Permit’ from the city to perform electrical work, or IF you Own, Repair, AND Live in the house…then, ‘Electrical contracting’ work can be legally performed. Well, the ‘general contractor’ who wrote the generic Fraudulent Invoice is NOT licensed as an NC Electrician nor did/does he live on the premises where ‘electrical switches’ were replaced and a ‘lighting assembly’ was installed onto a ceiling fan.
To this day, I have not received acknowledgement by the Internal Revenue Service nor the NC Department of Revenue. I know that they had received the mail since I had sent my information via Express Mail where a signature had to be signed. (I need to do a follow-up letter. Hopefully, someone from the IRS or the NC Department of Revenue is reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’…I mailed my written ‘complaint’ around November 2012.)
And then, I waited from this Summer 2013 until early August 2013 to FINALLY obtain legal counsel. When the unethical real estate agent/brokers PROBABLY thought everything was over, my attorney made sure that the lawsuit would be filed on time. My District Court lawsuit was filed on the afternoon of the LAST DAY of my Three-Year statute of limitations; the lawsuit was filed around 3pm on the LAST DAY! Talk about waiting to the last minute!
The Defense thinks they have a chance by requesting a ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing; I believe that I have the evidence to win at the Jury Trial, but I just need to get there….with YOUR HELP!
The Defense, including the unethical real estate brokers who have responded as a ‘Pro Se Litigant’, are thinking they have a chance with a ‘Motion to Dismiss.’
****IF anyone is reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’, please show in support of THIS CHANGE by showing up to my ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing which is dated for 9am Friday, December 20, 2013…at the Wake County Courthouse.
Thus, if you are planning to rent/lease a property, I hope what I wrote will help you. Make sure you take pictures/video when you move IN and when you move OUT. Also, place the request for the Final Walk-through AND the request for the security deposit IN WRITING. I made those mistakes. And, if the real estate agent/broker will not provide the ‘Final Walk-Through’, he/she (the agent/broker) probably did NOT read this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ and he/she is planning to do what ‘my’ unethical real estate agents/brokers did to me. Fight back!
Also, if you have any doubts, do ‘research.’ And, then upload your complaint to www.Change.Org or another Social Media site. Together we will make sure these ‘professionals’ think TWICE/TRICE before attempting to cheat someone [else]. Remember Social Media has the power for CHANGE. Look at what Social Media has done ‘to’ foreign governments, to the Trevon-Zimmerman court case, and to all those ‘Rape cases’ which received another viewing. Together we can create CHANGE!
Send your complaints to the Better Business Bureau, to the Attorney General’s Office (for your state), to the appropriate Board/Commission, and lastly file the lawsuit. Remember, that if you file a lawsuit AND win, then your ‘formal’ complaint to the appropriate Board/Commission will be ignored since you had received something (even if it is ONLY half of your security deposit). This was/is the reason WHY I filed the lawsuit at the very end. If the owner or the real estate agent/broker mails a partial payment (in my case it was $25.00), DO NOT…I repeat DO NOT…cash that partial-payment check; when you cash that partial-payment check, it acknowledges that you ‘accepted the refund’.
If everyone files a BBB complaint, an Attorney General’s Office complaint, a Board/Commission complaint, and/or a [Small Claims or higher] lawsuit, then someone like ‘me’ could take over and try for CHANGE! Please make sure to list the name of the real estate agent/broker on the [Small Claims Court] lawsuit along with the landlord, so that it will be MUCH EASIER to find these ‘unethical real estate agents/brokers’ within the computer system at the courthouse.
The computer system at the courthouse lists names of individuals/businesses, but the names are LISTED as a Defense or as a Plaintiff. Don’t just list the landlord(s), make sure to list the real estate agent/broker…so, ‘similar cases’ can be found at the courthouse.
Thank you very much for reading this long & wordy www.Change.Org ‘petition’. If anyone is competent at Facebook, please create a website to expose Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty. Please PIONEER other websites for me! I thank you in advance.
Again, PLEASE sign this electronic ‘petition’, PLEASE spread the word about this www.Change.Org ‘petition to your friends/family (via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and other means…i.e. Text/Email/Phone calls), PLEASE send a letter/post card to the Judge (who will decide if this case proceeds to Discovery, and eventually to a Jury Trial), [if you live near Raleigh, NC] PLEASE show up to my ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing at 9am on Friday December 20, 2013.
Around the week of December 9th, 2013….
Please write“Please allow Peter G. Lim to receive a Jury Trial for Punitive Damages” and mail Letter/PostCard to….
Honorable Judge Christian Lorie
State of North Carolina
10th Judicial District
Superior Court, 10th Floor
Wake County Court House
316 Fayetteville Street
Raleigh, NC 27602
We could still boycott Fonville Morisey Realty (which is in North Carolina) AND parent company Long & Foster Realty (which is in SEVEN states).
We do NOT have to purchase/rent/lease a house from Fonville Morisey Realty nor Long & Foster Realty. There are other real estate companies; In my opinion, Fonville Morisey Realty and Long & Foster Realty are NOT the companies you should obtain ANY real estate business.
However, IF you [truly] believe that Fonville Morisey Realty OR Long & Foster Realty has the property that you REALLY WANT to rent/lease/purchase…then, contact a real estate agent/broker from another real estate company to help you with the paperwork.
PLEASE DO NOT SIGN any agreement [contract] with Fonville Morisey Realty or Long & Foster Realty!! You like the property…then contact another real estate company (such as ReMax), and SIGN a rental/purchase agreement with the non-Fonville Morisey/non-Long & Foster real estate company (such as ReMax).
If another company, such as ReMax, helps you to rent/lease/purchase the house, then Fonville Morisey will have to SHARE the commission.
(By the way, I am NOT a real estate agent nor do I personally know [of] any ReMax real estate agent/broker. I chose to mention ReMax since I PERSONALLY believe that they are very reputable and would not have allowed someone like ‘my’ real estate agents/brokers to do what they did to me.)
The Founder of Fonville Morisey, Mr. John C. Morisey, Jr., has spent over 40 years to raise his company from April 1973. Let everyone who is reading AND agreeing with me…let’s boycott Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty by either doing NO BUSINESS with them or by using another real estate company (such as ReMax) in order that Fonville Morisey will have to ‘share the commission.’
Please REMEMBER to NOT sign any agreement [contracts] with a Fonville Morisey Realty OR a Long & Foster Realty agent/broker.
If enough Fonville Morisey/Long & Foster real estate agents/brokers ‘share their commission’ because of the outcome from this www.Change.Org ‘petition’, then maybe some of those eleven Fonville Morisey Realty branch offices (in Norht Carolina) will go out of business. And, maybe Fonville Morisey Realty will begin to diminish their presence within the state of North Carolina!
http://www.fmrealty.com/about-us
Fonville Morisey Realty claims on its website that it has been the ‘undisputed leader’ for ‘nearly two decades.’ Let’s help another real estate company become a ‘leader’ by boycotting Fonville Morisey Realty as much as possible. Let’s help a ReMax real estate agent/broker make some of that commission!
If you live in this state or a loved one lives in this state, please try to boycott Fonville Morisey Realty!
If you live in another state, please go to the Long & Foster website and make sure NOT to rent/lease/purchase any property which is owned by the parent company Long & Foster, or any of its companies.
Long & Foster has a presence in SEVEN states, please make sure you do NOT deal with a Long & Foster Realty if possible…
http://north-carolina-homes.longandfoster.com/triangle-real-estate/triangle.aspx
Long & Foster took over as the parent company of Fonville Morisey Realty; so, please boycott Long & Foster Realty if you live in another state.
Again, again, if you must rent/lease/purchase that particular place…PLEASE use another real estate company to sign the agreement contract so that any/all of the companies under the parent company Long & Foster will have to ‘Share the Commission’. This way, any/all of the Long & Foster-affiliated companies will get around HALF of the commission. Let’s help raze Fonville Morisey Realty by boycotting them. Let’s create CHANGE! Let’s show what Social Media can do!
Please spend under a dollar by mailing your letter or post card STARTING on Monday, December 9, 2013 directly to the Judge; I am hoping that the Judge will receive 10,000 or more letters/post cards requesting that my District Court lawsuit proceed to discovery…and, eventually to a “Jury Trial for Punitive Damages.”
Please arrive to court on my behalf if you are able by 9am on Friday, December 20, 2013. I wish to have a packed courtroom…where people are STANDING in the courtroom!!!
Again, together we can create CHANGE. I really need your help; I have LESS THAN 30 days to ‘spread the news.’ Please help do what this www.Change.Org website was designed to do…to create CHANGE.
To make a ‘point,’ I will pay the attorney fees, and donate the rest of the judgment to several local churches. I do not expect to re-coup my attorney fees because I will be DONATING the ‘punitive damage’ proceeds to Charity.
And, maybe Fonville Morisey Realty and/or Long & Foster Realty will utilize their [corporate] attorneys to lessen the opportunity for other unethical real estate agents/brokers to do what was done to me…instead of trying to ‘fight me.’
Sincerely yours,
Peter G. Lim

(uploaded) Monday, November 25, 2013…
Hi Everyone,
(I promise if you read most/all of this very-wordy & repetitive ‘petition’, you will learn something, especially if you rent/lease or plan to purchase a home sometime in the future.)
It is late November 2013, and I hope everyone who is reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ still realize that most of the United States is still feeling the effects of the Economic Recession. In this Economic Recession, probably many people are ‘renting/leasing’ a (residential/apartment) property versus ‘buying/purchasing’ a home. In either case, probably MANY of the people reading this ‘petition’ are renting/leasing at this time, especially with banks still being hesitant about issuing mortgage loans so ‘freely.’ With 300 Million people in the United States, I ask/plead that maybe? One Million people sign this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ before the middle of December 2013,…which is less than three weeks away. Even if 100,000 electronic signatures make, I will still be very thankful for the support.
If there is a Web Master who can optimize this www.Change.Org ‘petition’, or, someone who can PIONEER other websites to spread this cause, I would greatly appreciate it!!
If anyone has rented a house or an apartment and was NOT refunded his/her security deposit because of an unethical landlord or the real estate agent, PLEASE help me!!! Or, if your friend or relative has experienced something similar, PLEASE help me!!!
I believe this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ will be ‘one way’ for everyone reading this to ‘Speak Up’ against the unethical people (landlords or real estate agents) who continue in their ways. Yes, if You, your Son, your Daughter, your Brother, your Sister, your Cousin, or your Friend was a victim, then please help me! If you are an electrician and you are tired of local ‘handymen’ installing ceiling fans without an electrical license, please help me! If you have gone to court and have been very frustrated because the other party ‘made’ you file a lawsuit for something that could have been settled amicably, again please help me!
I have filed a lawsuit in District Court against Fonville Morisey for the unethical actions of its employee real estate agents/brokers, and the Defense (corporate Fonville Morisey, the unethical real estate brokers, and the landlord) have submitted a date for a ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing. I need your help so that I can continue on with a possible Jury Trial. I have already spent over $3,000.00 in order to fight for my $1,195.00 security deposit.
After the unethical real estate brokers did not want to settle this amicably, I decided to proceed on principle.
Here is a digital copy of my District Court lawsuit…
I have already spent three years of my life in the ‘Pursuit for Justice,’… just think about the countless hours I had spent typing. (I thank God that I can type around 100-words-plus a minute without having to look at the keyboard.) But, I cannot proceed if the Defense wins.
I NEED YOUR HELP in order that I can keep going in my ‘Pursuit for Justice.’ Please spread the news about this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and whatever other social media outlets that currently exists.
The date of the ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing is currently scheduled for Friday, December 20, 2013; and Judge Christian Lorie is currently scheduled to render her verdict on the ‘Motion to Dismiss.’ So, please help spread the news about this ‘petition’ as Fast As Possible! I do not have a lot of time; please help ASAP. I am hoping that the real estate agents/brokers of America think TWICE/TRICE before trying to cheat someone else of his/her security deposit..if www.Change.Org does what it was intended to do.
I want to hold Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty responsible for the [unethical] actions of its employees.
Has anyone ever heard of someone renting a house, a trailer, or an apartment, and then the real estate agent/broker and/or the landlord NOT refunding the security deposit by providing a ‘Bogus Invoice’ from individuals who are NOT legally licensed as a business?
What if you rented a trailer or a house, and you left the property expecting to get your security deposit, but the landlord or his/her real estate agent/broker provided a HANDWRITTEN generic invoice from someone (probably a cousin, like Mr. Bubba) citing repairs performed which could be considered ‘usual wear and tear’ or the responsibility of the landlord.
And, your ‘only legal recourse’ would be to file a lawsuit in Small Claims Court against the landlord? Would you feel comfortable that you rented/leased a property, and you were not refunded the security deposit by the landlord or his/her agent where by he/she provided a Fraudulent Invoice (by a ‘company’ that does NOT exists!). This happened to me, and I have heard a few people who stated that they did not get their security deposit but they ‘let it go’ because they had a full-time job and they did not want to go through the trouble of Small Claims Court. Well, I did. And, again, I NEED YOUR HELP!...so, that I can create CHANGE!
How many individuals in America would think about going to District Court to file a lawsuit? Most attorneys/lawyers want about $4,000.00/$5,000.00 Retainer for them to represent legal counsel in a higher court, such as District Court. How many individuals in America reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ is WILLING to spend the $4,000.00/$5,000.00 Retainer in order to obtain legal counsel? I did.
I already spent around $3,000.00 towards this District Court lawsuit, when the security deposit was ONLY $1,195.00! I may have to spend Much More (possibly as high as $50,000.00) in order to reach a Jury Trial. Help me, so that I can obtain a Jury Trial; I will spend the $50,000.00 if I have to…that is how determined I am to get Justice. But, again, I NEED YOUR HELP!
If you do NOTHING by NOT signing my www.Change.Org ‘petition’, and later you or a friend/relative is cheated by unethical real estate agents/brokers who ‘forces’ Small Claims Court proceeding (in order to obtain the security deposit), then you can look back and there is no one to blame because I, Peter Lim, have ‘fought back’ and I did not have your help.
Please help me so that I may be able to create change via my www.Change.Org ‘petition.’
How many individuals in America reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ is willing to spend the money that is required to obtain JUSTICE? If ‘you’ want JUSTICE, please help me! I am planning to take this District Court lawsuit until the very end. I want a Jury Trial for the maximum punitive damages allowed for the state of North Carolina.
How many of the www.Change.Org readers would be VERY ANGRY that you had cleaned the bathroom, the kitchen, the stove, and all the trash/debris was removed from the interior of the house AND you expected your security deposit, but instead was given a Bogus ‘Fraudulent Invoice’ written by a person who is NOT a licensed business?
This proves Walliser Repairs does NOT exist, and of there being no licensure...

This www.Change.Org ‘petition’ may be a way for you to Speak Up against these unethical actions. Please Help Me! by (1) signing this electronic ‘petition’,
(2) spreading the word about this ‘petition’…PIONEER other websites (PLEASE), and by
(3) supporting me (NOT financially, but) with a 46-cent stamped Letter OR Postcard…mailed directly to the Judge (using the address of the NC courthouse)…address is near the end of this ‘petition’, and
(4) uniting together by ‘fighting back’ with a Long-Term Boycott of Fonville Morisey Realty and its parent company Long & Foster Realty.
If you only do the first three above items, I am fine. Item four will wake up ‘big business’ that Social Media can elicit CHANGE where it hurts (the pockets).
My Story….
(you can read a shorter version of my story at:
(I will try to not mention the real estate agents/brokers since I do not want to have any remarks of ‘Slander’.)
Well, I had leased a house from September 2007 to September 2010 through a local real estate company A (I am not citing company A because they did nothing wrong). Around June/July 2010, I provided my 60-Day notice via email that I was not going to renew my lease with the landlord.
(I have chosen to leave out the names of the real estate agents/brokers for now…but, you will know of them when you review the evidence that I have included.)
The real estate broker from real estate company B, which in this case was/is Fonville Morisey, accepted my 60-Day notice. And, around August 25, 2010, I had received a nasty ‘bully’ email stating that I had ‘denied access’ to the house for a home showing. I responded accordingly back to the ‘bully’ real estate agent/broker that I will not jump and that he will not like to see me ‘angry.’ I stated that I have a son (then three years old) and a daughter (then two years old), where Last Minute requests for a Home Showing was not reasonable nor accepted by me, to which I reiterated to the real estate agent/broker to not threaten my security deposit, and that he would not like to see me ‘ANGRY.’ Within five minutes I received a call, where very-heated words were exchanged via my cell phone. This was on August 25, 2010…over Three Years ago.
Please refer to my August 25, 2010 email where the real estate broker was a ‘bully’ and I responded accordingly…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rwxr7xu58yotpa/e.Bright%20BLUE%20packet...47%20pages.pdf
I moved out of the house by September 30, 2010; I even physically (in person) spoke to the Wife real estate agent/broker that I wanted a ‘Final Walk Through’. Obviously the Wife real estate agent completely ignored my request for the final walk through since I NEVER received the requested ‘Final Walk Through’. I was never cited for the place being dirty inside, other than the carpets being the way they were.
Sunday, November 7, 2010, I personally observed individuals moving items into the house that I previously had leased.
Soon thereafter, I contacted the landlord asking when I should be receiving my security deposit. The landlord responded that he was working on it.
By this time, I was getting agitated that I did my part of ‘paying the rent on time Each Month, cleaning the place before I left, and leaving by the end of my lease’…and yet, I did not get my security deposit.
December 1, 2010, I again contact the landlord asking when I should be receiving my security deposit, where I wrote the address to which the security deposit money should be mailed. Again, the landlord responded that he was working on it.
January 5, 2011, I again contact the landlord stating that it has definitely been more than 30 Days since my last written request for the return of the security deposit. The landlord responded that he was still working on it.
Link to my emails dated December 1, 2010 AND January 5, 2011…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rwxr7xu58yotpa/e.Bright%20BLUE%20packet...47%20pages.pdf
Around mid-January 2011, I contacted Pre-Paid Legal (which is now called Legal Shield). I informed the Pre-Paid Legal attorney that I was not refunded my security deposit and that I had not received an invoice of any kind. My Pre-Paid Legal attorney wrote the Fonville Morisey real estate broker that under North Carolina general statute ‘landlord-tenant’ responsibilities that the landlord has the responsibility of returning the security deposit within 30 Days, or within 60 Days if there are itemized damages.
Again…I left the premises on September 30, 2010, I ‘formally’ requested my security deposit via email on December 1, 2010, and I ‘formally’ demanded my security deposit via email January 5, 2011. So, I properly gave my 30-Day notice (an attorney stated that the 30-Day Notice STARTS when the request is made in writing, and does NOT necessarily begin when the tenant moves out…the folks reading this petition should make not of this!). But, the security deposit was not returned to me within 30 days nor was an Itemized List of damages provided to me within 60 days. In other words, I should have been refunded my security deposit because the landlord had failed to meet the 30-day/60-day NC general statute describing the responsibilities of the landlord. I should have received my security deposit by default of the landlord!
Instead, the Fonville Morisey real estate broker responded back to my Pre-Paid Legal attorney by stating that he did not have a ‘direct contract’ with me, that the security deposit money/monthly lease was being paid directly to the landlord, that I (Peter Lim) had not taken care of the property, that a general contractor had performed much repairs (and the general contract had digital pictures to prove the damages), and that he (the real estate agent/broker had NOTHING to do with my not receiving the security-deposit refund. My Pre-Paid Legal attorney contacted me, and he (the attorney) stated that I had to take the landlord to [Small Claims] Court. The unethical real estate broker ‘must’ have had similar instances where he denied someone his/her security deposit…please read the Very Confident letter where the real estate broker ‘states that he would gladly represent the landlords in Small Claims Court in Room 9C.’ (I am currently researching any/all possible lawsuits where ‘my’ unethical real estate agents/brokers were involved with the landlords of other properties.)
Please refer to 2011.01.21.pdf; 2011.01.26.pdf; 2011.02.09.pdf; and 2011.02.15.pdf
Around late January 2011, I performed some ‘research’ on the ‘general contractor’. I discovered that the ‘general contractor’ is ANOTHER Fonville Morisey real estate agent!! Talk about a Conflict of Interest. I told myself…”these **-heads, I got them.”
Again, Please refer to the included attachment c.Bright YELLOW packet.pdf
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j73x3filrii4m5h/c.Bright%20YELLOW%20packet...24%20pages.pdf
I started to contact a couple of local real estate attorneys, and I was told that the 30-day notice requesting the refund of the security deposit begins when there is a Written Request and NOT from when a person moves out. Also, I was told by the attorneys,… they wanted $1,200-$1,400 to represent me in Small Claims Court, or a $4,000.00 Retainer to represent me in a higher court.
I became More Angry that “these **-heads” had done this fraudulent act and may get away with it unless I did something!
I stated directly to the landlord and the Wife real estate agent/broker via email that ‘IF I did not get my security deposit that I will file a lawsuit.’ Nothing happened. They did not heed my warning…and, I did in fact file the lawsuit…which is linked within this ‘petition.’
Around May 2011, I filed a BBB complaint against corporate Fonville Morisey for the unethical actions of its real estate brokers. I mentioned that I will settle with $5,000.00 if Fonville Morisey wanted to be EXCLUDED from any [future] lawsuits. Two executives from corporate Fonville Morisey responded to my Better Business Bureau complaint, stating that what the real estate agents/brokers did…that the [unethical] agents/brokers had performed under the property management company, K.E.G. of Raleigh, Inc.
Again, website for my June 7, 2011 BBB complaint…
Around May/June 2011 was the FIRST TIME I was made aware that the unethical real estate agents/brokers had ‘another real estate company’. Still, I responded back to corporate Fonville Morisey that these real estate agents/brokers performed their unethical actions under the Fonville Morisey name; I complained to BBB that Fonville Morisey was trying to claim that they were not responsible for the ‘unfair and deceptive trade practice’ of its employees.
I told BBB that the emails (at the bottom of the emails) had ‘Fonville Morisey’ when the real estate broker had corresponded with me, that the real estate broker included a Fonville Morisey business card when the real estate broker had responded to my Pre-Paid Legal, and that I did NOT know about the existence of K.E.G. until corporate Fonville Morisey mentioned the property management company. Also, the 1037 Whetstone Court property was ‘listed’ under Fonville Morisey around October 1, 2010.
K.E.G. of Raleigh, Inc…
https://www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporations/Corp.aspx?PitemId=8116681
Still, I responded to corporate Fonville Morisey that I was holding ‘corporate ‘Fonville Morisey’ responsible since the contact information had the ‘Fonville Morisey’ name. I ONLY knew of the real estate brokers’ listing under ‘Fonville Morisey’ from June/July 2010 to May/June 2011; so, for over Six Months, I truly/earnestly believed that the real estate agents/brokers worked for Fonville Morisey. And, corporate Fonville Morisey ignored me…I stated that I will file a lawsuit, but there was No Response. And, we are here.
Again, you can view my June 7, 2011-dated BBB complaint against Fonville Morisey…
Please notice that I ‘asked for PROOF of damages’ in the third sentence of my June 7, 2011 BBB complaint.
I mentioned, “No evidence was provided to me other than a Job Invoice listing cost of materials and the cost of labor”, and I mentioned Small Claims Court because there was the slight possible chance PROOF might be provided (where I would lose some of the ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practice’ description).
Please notice the last couple of sentences…where I mentioned about PROOF (of damages, of repairs, and of payment)!
Corporate Fonville Morisey responded that they were not responsible for the [unethical] actions of the Fonville Morisey real estate agent/brokers because the brokers had/have their own ‘property management company.’
Again,…Again… this was the FIRST TIME I became aware of the ‘property management company’ K.E.G. owned by the unethical real estate brokers. From around June 2010 (when I had first received the initial email with ‘Fonville Morisey’ written at the end of the email) until May/June 2011 (when corporate Fonville Morisey responded with the name of the ‘property management company’), I ONLY knew/believed that these unethical real estate agent/brokers as employees of Fonville Morisey. Because I only knew of Fonville Morisey, it did NOT matter that I was informed about the ‘property management company’ AFTER the ‘Fraudulent Invoice’ was provided to me. In other words, the unethical real estate agent/brokers provided the ‘Fraudulent Invoice’ when the brokers listed themselves as Fonville Morisey.
Please note that I STILL informed corporate Fonville Morisey that I was holding them accountable for the unethical actions of its employees. I had given corporate Fonville Morisey a chance to compensate me with $5,000.00 if they wanted to be excluded in any/all lawsuits…back in May/June 2011. Fonville Morisey did NOT take my offer. Now, the $5,000.00 offer no longer stands. And, I want a ‘Jury Trial for Punitive Damages’ to hold Fonville Morisey accountable. I can’t get there IF the Defense wins with their ‘Motion to Dismiss.’
Please note that the unethical real estate broker responded by TOTALLY ignoring my complaint/request for ‘PROOF.’ He TOTALLY ignored my request for PROOF. He responded that he was not responsible for the security deposit since he did not receive any monies from me. I filed the June 7, 2011 BBB complaint, basically stating that I ‘want PROOF or give me my money.’ And, it was under ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practice.’
After my BBB letter achieved ‘No [tangible] Results’, I decided that I needed to take some ‘time off’ from this headache. From June 2011 to August 2012, I left this headache on the ‘back burner’.
Around Labor Day, September 2012, I filed a NOTARIZED complaint to the NCREC (North Carolina Real Estate Commission) requesting (1) past/current complaints against the real estate agents/brokers, (2) copy of the Landlord-Agent contract, and (3) Proof of Damage, Proof of Repairs, & Proof of Payment. The North Carolina Real Estate Commission mailed me a CD disk with three listed complaints against the real estate brokers, a copy of the Landlord-Agent contract which was dated around November 12, 2010 (which is just under 45 days AFTER I had moved out), but there was NO PROOF (of Damages, of Repairs, or of Payment) included in the NCREC response.
I requested PROOF via my Pre-Paid Legal attorney, I requested PROOF via the Better Business Bureau, and I requested PROOF via the North Carolina Real Estate Commission…and, almost Two Years later (from September 2010 to September 2012), I still did NOT receive PROOF of Damages, Repairs, and/or Payment!
Please refer to my NCREC LETTER Evident Discovery.pdf
The NCREC had failed me! The NCREC did not do its job of ‘protecting the citizens of this state’ from ‘really bad’ real estate agents/brokers.
The NCREC has the POWER & the AUTHORITHY to request ANY document(s) from its real estate agents/brokers, but they (the NCREC) ignored my request for PROOF! I want to mention that Mr. Stephen L. Fussell of the NCREC ‘probably’ cannot go to the restroom without the permission of his boss. If anyone wishes to file a complaint with the NCREC, Mr. Stephen L. Fussell stated to me that he ‘could get any documents’ but Mr. Fussell failed to obtain the PROOF that I requested! If you read a previous NCREC complaint against the unethical real estate brokers, you will can view Mr. Stephen L. Fussell requesting a number of items in previous NCREC cases, and the unethical real estate brokers responded with a partial answer…totally ignoring some of the listed items requested by Mr. Stephen L. Fussell! What a wash; I initially had respect for Mr. Fussell, but not after I discovered he can’t deliver! Mr. Fussell claimed he had power over the real estate agents/brokers, but he can’t/won’t and didn’t deliver when I requested PROOF from the unethical real estate brokers!
Please refer to around pages 580’s...where the unethical real estate broker does not COMPLETELY respond to the REQUESTED WRITTEN INFORMATION from Mr. Stephen L. Fussell…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7hxbag804o134n/D10-0048.pdf
What is all that power & authority, when the WRITTEN request for [my] PROOF gets totally ignored? What a wash!
The REAL power & authority belongs to Mrs. Janet B. Thoren, who has the ONLY Power & Authority to allow a NCREC complaint case to even reach a NCREC hearing! I discovered that Mrs. Janet B. Thoren IS the AUTHORITY when I did my research…because I was NOT getting Justice! (After this District Court case, I will revisit my attempts at having Mrs. Janet B. Thoren resign for her not ‘protecting the citizens of this state’ from the unethical real estate agent/broker that caused me grief…where I will publish on the Internet what I have learned about Mrs. Thoren.)
Also, I discovered that the Husband/Wife real estate brokers had received a [another] NCREC complaint around December 2012 because another North Carolina citizen was NOT given his around $1,600.00 security deposit. His name is Mr. Martin A. Lewis.
I was Very Elated that I had taken ‘time off,… where the unethical real estate brokers had received ANOTHER complaint [from someone else]! I felt that this ‘new complaint’, where the unethical real estate brokers denied someone else his security deposit, DEMONSTRATED ‘repeated behavior.’ I repeat. Repeated Behavior!!
Mr. Martin A. Lewis did not get his security deposit from the unethical real estate brokers as well…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvaumgz7f04vq9l/D12-0367.pdf
To my understanding, the unethical Husband/Wife real estate brokers have been Reprimanded by the NCREC via case D12-0367. Still, I am not satisfied. I want Justice.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvaumgz7f04vq9l/D12-0367.pdf
Also, I discovered (from the past NCREC complaints) that the Husband/Wife real estate brokers were accused of ‘back-dating a contract’, as well as ‘Signature Fraud’ where their co-worker (the SAME Fonville Morisey real estate agent/broker) who produced the ‘Fraudulent Document’ and the NCREC did NOTHING but a ‘slap on the wrist’. The Husband/Wife real estate brokers were accused of ‘trying to steal a website’ from another past co-worker.
Link to TWO past complaints…demonstrating the SAME-THREE real estate agents/brokers…please refer to page 5 & 7 of D10-0048…

Demonstrating past unethical behavior of the real estate brokers, Please refer to the initial pages of D10-0224...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rmszduz1cig3y7g/D10-0224.pdf
These SAME-THREE Fonville Morisey real estate agents/brokers used to work for another local/national real estate company; the North Carolina Real Estate Commission just gave these real estate agents/brokers a ‘slap on the wrists’ when I PERSONALLY believe they (the real estate brokers) should have had their real estate licenses REVOKED, or at least SUSPENDED for period of no less than 30 days.
I guess that was/is the reason when I stated that “I will report you to the NCREC” elicited No amicable Response from the unethical real estate agents/brokers. The unethical real estate agents/brokers were ‘emboldened’ by the fact that their real estate broker COLLEAGUES failed to achieve much more than a ‘slap on the wrists’ via the NCREC. The Husband/Wife real estate brokers were penalized by the local Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors, however; I found this information by contacting the real estate broker who had filed the complaint against the unethical real estate brokers for ‘trying to steal a website’. Again, I feel that the real estate brokers should have had their licenses Revoked or Suspended.
If the NCREC did their job of ‘protecting the citizens of this state’ by rendering a Revocation or a Suspension, then PROBABLY the real estate brokers would have amicably made sure that I did not file a complaint with the NCREC. And, NONE of this would have happened! I would not have discovered the Power & Authority that Mrs. Janet B. Thoren possessed within the NCREC nor would I have personally ‘journeyed’ for more than THREE YEARS to obtain Justice. Still, Mr. John C. Morisey, Jr., the Founder of Fonville Morisey Realty, could have made sure that the SAME Three unethical real estate agents/brokers did NOT do anything ‘unethical’ under the name of Fonville Morisey. Instead, the President (& Founder) of Fonville Morisey Realty ALLOWED the unethical real estate brokers do as they wished.
I want to mention that I had given the President and Vice President of Fonville Morisey Realty the opportunity to settle this District Court lawsuit case 13 CVD 13240; but, AGAIN, I was obviously ignored. Had the President and Vice President of Fonville Morisey Realty taken me seriously, then my attorney would have been contacted AND this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ would not have been uploaded tonight.
And now, I have the opportunity to demonstrate what the Social Media can do to a ‘Big Business’, such as Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty. (I want to see what Social Media does to Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty; together we can make CHANGE.)
Founder, Mr. John C. Morisey, Jr. knew of their unethical behavior BEFORE hiring the agents/brokers…please refer to page 584…

LATE 2012, around November
Around Thanksgiving Day, November 2012, I mailed the documentation that I possessed to the North Carolina Attorney General office, to the North Carolina Electrical Board, to the Criminal Division of the federal Internal Revenue Service in California, to the Criminal Division of the state North Carolina Department of Revenue, and my follow-up NOTARIZED complaint to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.
Please refer to my 2012.11.26 My Notarized Complaint to the NCREC.pdf
Around December 2012, I received a letter from the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office noting that my complaint will be on file against Fonville Morisey; I was told that the NC Attorney General’s complaint will be PERMANENT…forever! You can contact the NC Attorney General’s Office to view ‘my’ complaint against Fonville Morisey Realty.
Around December 2012/January 2013, I received a letter from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission that they could/would NOT help me since I did not have a contract between ‘me and the [unethical] real estate brokers’. (For not providing me with Justice, I plan to expose the ‘Good Old Boys’ treatment by the NCREC…I will send out about 500 letters to the NC real estate agents/brokers who lost their licenses via Revocation/Suspension…exposing the corruption of allowing some brokers, such as the unethical real estate brokers who caused me this grieve, while revoking/suspending the real estate licenses of other brokers. I do not think that is fair; the NCREC was not doing its job of ‘protecting the citizens of this state.’)
Around February 2013, I received a letter from the North Carolina Electrical Board that they would be investigating my formal written complaint. Around April/May 2013, I received a letter from the North Carolina Electrical Board stating that a letter was given to the ‘general contractor’ to NOT perform Electrical Contracting. I mention this NC Electrical Board, since the state of North Carolina considers it ILLEGAL for anyone performing electrical repairs to a facility WITHOUT an electrical license.
IF you are a LICENSED NC Electrician, IF you receive an ‘Electrical Permit’ from the city to perform electrical work, or IF you Own, Repair, AND Live in the house…then, ‘Electrical contracting’ work can be legally performed. Well, the ‘general contractor’ who wrote the generic Fraudulent Invoice is NOT licensed as an NC Electrician nor did/does he live on the premises where ‘electrical switches’ were replaced and a ‘lighting assembly’ was installed onto a ceiling fan.
To this day, I have not received acknowledgement by the Internal Revenue Service nor the NC Department of Revenue. I know that they had received the mail since I had sent my information via Express Mail where a signature had to be signed. (I need to do a follow-up letter. Hopefully, someone from the IRS or the NC Department of Revenue is reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’…I mailed my written ‘complaint’ around November 2012.)
And then, I waited from this Summer 2013 until early August 2013 to FINALLY obtain legal counsel. When the unethical real estate agent/brokers PROBABLY thought everything was over, my attorney made sure that the lawsuit would be filed on time. My District Court lawsuit was filed on the afternoon of the LAST DAY of my Three-Year statute of limitations; the lawsuit was filed around 3pm on the LAST DAY! Talk about waiting to the last minute!
The Defense thinks they have a chance by requesting a ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing; I believe that I have the evidence to win at the Jury Trial, but I just need to get there….with YOUR HELP!
The Defense, including the unethical real estate brokers who have responded as a ‘Pro Se Litigant’, are thinking they have a chance with a ‘Motion to Dismiss.’
****IF anyone is reading this www.Change.Org ‘petition’, please show in support of THIS CHANGE by showing up to my ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing which is dated for 9am Friday, December 20, 2013…at the Wake County Courthouse.
Thus, if you are planning to rent/lease a property, I hope what I wrote will help you. Make sure you take pictures/video when you move IN and when you move OUT. Also, place the request for the Final Walk-through AND the request for the security deposit IN WRITING. I made those mistakes. And, if the real estate agent/broker will not provide the ‘Final Walk-Through’, he/she (the agent/broker) probably did NOT read this www.Change.Org ‘petition’ and he/she is planning to do what ‘my’ unethical real estate agents/brokers did to me. Fight back!
Also, if you have any doubts, do ‘research.’ And, then upload your complaint to www.Change.Org or another Social Media site. Together we will make sure these ‘professionals’ think TWICE/TRICE before attempting to cheat someone [else]. Remember Social Media has the power for CHANGE. Look at what Social Media has done ‘to’ foreign governments, to the Trevon-Zimmerman court case, and to all those ‘Rape cases’ which received another viewing. Together we can create CHANGE!
Send your complaints to the Better Business Bureau, to the Attorney General’s Office (for your state), to the appropriate Board/Commission, and lastly file the lawsuit. Remember, that if you file a lawsuit AND win, then your ‘formal’ complaint to the appropriate Board/Commission will be ignored since you had received something (even if it is ONLY half of your security deposit). This was/is the reason WHY I filed the lawsuit at the very end. If the owner or the real estate agent/broker mails a partial payment (in my case it was $25.00), DO NOT…I repeat DO NOT…cash that partial-payment check; when you cash that partial-payment check, it acknowledges that you ‘accepted the refund’.
If everyone files a BBB complaint, an Attorney General’s Office complaint, a Board/Commission complaint, and/or a [Small Claims or higher] lawsuit, then someone like ‘me’ could take over and try for CHANGE! Please make sure to list the name of the real estate agent/broker on the [Small Claims Court] lawsuit along with the landlord, so that it will be MUCH EASIER to find these ‘unethical real estate agents/brokers’ within the computer system at the courthouse.
The computer system at the courthouse lists names of individuals/businesses, but the names are LISTED as a Defense or as a Plaintiff. Don’t just list the landlord(s), make sure to list the real estate agent/broker…so, ‘similar cases’ can be found at the courthouse.
Thank you very much for reading this long & wordy www.Change.Org ‘petition’. If anyone is competent at Facebook, please create a website to expose Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty. Please PIONEER other websites for me! I thank you in advance.
Again, PLEASE sign this electronic ‘petition’, PLEASE spread the word about this www.Change.Org ‘petition to your friends/family (via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and other means…i.e. Text/Email/Phone calls), PLEASE send a letter/post card to the Judge (who will decide if this case proceeds to Discovery, and eventually to a Jury Trial), [if you live near Raleigh, NC] PLEASE show up to my ‘Motion to Dismiss’ hearing at 9am on Friday December 20, 2013.
Around the week of December 9th, 2013….
Please write“Please allow Peter G. Lim to receive a Jury Trial for Punitive Damages” and mail Letter/PostCard to….
Honorable Judge Christian Lorie
State of North Carolina
10th Judicial District
Superior Court, 10th Floor
Wake County Court House
316 Fayetteville Street
Raleigh, NC 27602
We could still boycott Fonville Morisey Realty (which is in North Carolina) AND parent company Long & Foster Realty (which is in SEVEN states).
We do NOT have to purchase/rent/lease a house from Fonville Morisey Realty nor Long & Foster Realty. There are other real estate companies; In my opinion, Fonville Morisey Realty and Long & Foster Realty are NOT the companies you should obtain ANY real estate business.
However, IF you [truly] believe that Fonville Morisey Realty OR Long & Foster Realty has the property that you REALLY WANT to rent/lease/purchase…then, contact a real estate agent/broker from another real estate company to help you with the paperwork.
PLEASE DO NOT SIGN any agreement [contract] with Fonville Morisey Realty or Long & Foster Realty!! You like the property…then contact another real estate company (such as ReMax), and SIGN a rental/purchase agreement with the non-Fonville Morisey/non-Long & Foster real estate company (such as ReMax).
If another company, such as ReMax, helps you to rent/lease/purchase the house, then Fonville Morisey will have to SHARE the commission.
(By the way, I am NOT a real estate agent nor do I personally know [of] any ReMax real estate agent/broker. I chose to mention ReMax since I PERSONALLY believe that they are very reputable and would not have allowed someone like ‘my’ real estate agents/brokers to do what they did to me.)
The Founder of Fonville Morisey, Mr. John C. Morisey, Jr., has spent over 40 years to raise his company from April 1973. Let everyone who is reading AND agreeing with me…let’s boycott Fonville Morisey Realty AND Long & Foster Realty by either doing NO BUSINESS with them or by using another real estate company (such as ReMax) in order that Fonville Morisey will have to ‘share the commission.’
Please REMEMBER to NOT sign any agreement [contracts] with a Fonville Morisey Realty OR a Long & Foster Realty agent/broker.
If enough Fonville Morisey/Long & Foster real estate agents/brokers ‘share their commission’ because of the outcome from this www.Change.Org ‘petition’, then maybe some of those eleven Fonville Morisey Realty branch offices (in Norht Carolina) will go out of business. And, maybe Fonville Morisey Realty will begin to diminish their presence within the state of North Carolina!
http://www.fmrealty.com/about-us
Fonville Morisey Realty claims on its website that it has been the ‘undisputed leader’ for ‘nearly two decades.’ Let’s help another real estate company become a ‘leader’ by boycotting Fonville Morisey Realty as much as possible. Let’s help a ReMax real estate agent/broker make some of that commission!
If you live in this state or a loved one lives in this state, please try to boycott Fonville Morisey Realty!
If you live in another state, please go to the Long & Foster website and make sure NOT to rent/lease/purchase any property which is owned by the parent company Long & Foster, or any of its companies.
Long & Foster has a presence in SEVEN states, please make sure you do NOT deal with a Long & Foster Realty if possible…
http://north-carolina-homes.longandfoster.com/triangle-real-estate/triangle.aspx
Long & Foster took over as the parent company of Fonville Morisey Realty; so, please boycott Long & Foster Realty if you live in another state.
Again, again, if you must rent/lease/purchase that particular place…PLEASE use another real estate company to sign the agreement contract so that any/all of the companies under the parent company Long & Foster will have to ‘Share the Commission’. This way, any/all of the Long & Foster-affiliated companies will get around HALF of the commission. Let’s help raze Fonville Morisey Realty by boycotting them. Let’s create CHANGE! Let’s show what Social Media can do!
Please spend under a dollar by mailing your letter or post card STARTING on Monday, December 9, 2013 directly to the Judge; I am hoping that the Judge will receive 10,000 or more letters/post cards requesting that my District Court lawsuit proceed to discovery…and, eventually to a “Jury Trial for Punitive Damages.”
Please arrive to court on my behalf if you are able by 9am on Friday, December 20, 2013. I wish to have a packed courtroom…where people are STANDING in the courtroom!!!
Again, together we can create CHANGE. I really need your help; I have LESS THAN 30 days to ‘spread the news.’ Please help do what this www.Change.Org website was designed to do…to create CHANGE.
To make a ‘point,’ I will pay the attorney fees, and donate the rest of the judgment to several local churches. I do not expect to re-coup my attorney fees because I will be DONATING the ‘punitive damage’ proceeds to Charity.
And, maybe Fonville Morisey Realty and/or Long & Foster Realty will utilize their [corporate] attorneys to lessen the opportunity for other unethical real estate agents/brokers to do what was done to me…instead of trying to ‘fight me.’
Sincerely yours,
Peter G. Lim
